Show or Go?, Which way are you going? Options

[chucho]

Which is your desire. I'm just going for show right now. I may do a couple mods to the engine but i'm going for show overall. Later down the road i'll swap in a 3sge or 3sgte. But not right now, unless i come up w/ a really good job next year.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

as of now its all show baby! unless ya count my exhaust but i dont! anyways but my car is being put on hold right now till im situated with my moving out! but yeah within 3 years at MAX i plan on doing a 3sgte!


later

Show....reason being that I cannot swap in a 3S-GTE in a 99 Celica legally. That would be dope tho..with the AWD...but its only legal for a 94-96 Celica here....Mmm GT4 Convertible....

When I get my car, I'll be going the show route until I can pay for the 3S-GTE.

[0Re0]

Both......Its almost done

[boosted_K2]

well i started out with this huge show scheme, but it has fallen through so it is now going to be go oriented with a little bit of show.

[ScoobyDooCruiser]

uh... wheres the option for "can't afford either, so i'm gunna stick with slapping a gt-4 emblem on the back and hoping nobody actually knows what that is"? Thats what I'd check. . Prolly show, if you call JDM tails, a custom center divider and a stuffed dog in the back seat show. If I wanted speed, I think it would be cheaper just to buy a faster car to start with.

[Akuza]

its all go for me
cuz the car is in kinda bad condition and im trying to bring it up to date and make mine the fastest celica in this city ( theres not many around where i live )
and ill bring it to import show and smoke all their asses with my time of 9 secs 1/4 mile
heheheahahhahhah

[Cragspider]

Well, when I had my ST i was only going show cause we all know how fast those are. But now that Im going to be getting a gt its back to what the ST looked like then as soon as I can save up the cash its time for the 3s swap. But thats after I have gotten the miles up there on the 5s.

My car is about as show as it's gonna get(at least for a while...I may get a Booster Tuning Front Grill and different Spoiler later), and now I'm about to buy a 4A-GZE and swap that into the car to make it go.

[HyperDeathKill]

Go baby go. Ain't nobody gonna disrespect you for having a fast car that already looks good stock.

exactly

i voted go because celicas already look fast stock

For my celica? Show.

The way I look at it, $5000 can either get me an engine swap and 220 horsepower, or it can get me 400 horse and 500 ft. lbs of torque in another car. *shrug*

Yea but your car wouldn't look as good as a celica. Infact, I bet it'd be pretty ghetto for $5,000. And 220 horse in a sleeper celi is definitly enough I think.

[7aek]

errthin u guys say it's troo. our celi's look good stock. look fast to anybody. MAC! ur quote is totally rite. but deep inside we all want to drive a fast car dat looks awesome. so im tryna make it both. can i get an amen? or a halleluyah?

It wont be a show car, but it wont be ghetto either. I've got friends who do body work.. I get the carcas of a vehicle for $200 (maybe an AMC javelin or something like that, even considering an S-10 Blazer) I drop $500 into a 1976 Caddy for the donor engine.. 500 cubic inches, and only 46,000 miles, the engine is mint. The rest of the cash goes into tranny, custom exhaust, suspension, wheels + tires, and paint. The rest is all little crap that can be done over time... billet grill, sound system, cam shaft, headers, fuel injection kit, shift kit, chrome this and that, etc..
